About this title

Synopsis

In the first full length analysis of the rise of left-wing hobbyists, performative radicals and the 'Identity Left', A Left for Itself interrogates the connection between socio-economic realities and politico-cultural views and boldly asks what is a worthy politics, one for the follower count or one for affecting change. 

'This book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the contemporary state of the left.' -- Professor Matthew Goodwin, author of National Populism: the Revolt Against Liberal Democracy
